Pros:
|
optically superb, price, smooth focusing, high grade plastics, f/1.4
|
|
Cons:
|
size & weight
|

my favorite Rokinon/Samyang lens. it delivers top-notch image quality. For a 35mm lens, it has the "mojo". Images are sharp wide open, nice bokeh & color rendition.
This is a real manual lens. Focus could be a problem since it has the f/1.4. Using live focus (e.g. NEX's focus peaking) would really help.
downside? I wish they could make it (much) smaller.

I've got this nice Samyang 35mm since one year (used on Canon 5D Mark I).
Overall, the image quality is stellar. Maybe some lacks of contrast at wide apertures, but the sharpness is great from f/2. At f/1.4 the sharpness is correct on the full image (not only on center like many optics), so it's really great performances.
Moreover, the close-up performance is fantastic. And the bokeh very creamy. Samyang has made a very good job here.
The only minus is the lack of Autofocus. But the focus ring is very well damped.
Highly recommended on full frame cameras!
